Funny as I do it all the time, and I don't think I'm the only one. Does this mean I shouldn't be using "version.extensions....." at all? Thanks Eric for going through the scenarios. The probability is so low that a plugins would appear twice, and exponentially lower that it would actually have any more effect than the performance overhead of loading twice, that it does seem unnecessary. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
